Head of Academic Planning and Delivery
Summary
As Head of Academic Planning and Delivery for Sheffield Business School, I provide strategic leadership for the management of our course portfolio, staffing and resourcing, and implementation of our accreditation strategy.
About
I have a wealth of experience managing academic units at senior level, including developing and implementing strategies; and managing large and complex academic projects. As Head of Academic Planning and Delivery for Sheffield Business School, I work closely with the Business School Director to provide strategic leadership, planning and resource management for the Business School, including portfolio and portfolio performance management, staffing and resourcing, and accreditations.
Prior to joining academia, I worked as a senior manager in the food industry ecosystem, working closely with food manufacturers and retailers on food quality and regulations.
My research interests span student experience and outcome, sensory evaluation of food, and attitudes towards food and nutrition.
I am a Chartered Scientist, a Registered Sensory Scientist and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
